Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and treatment with NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback and PNEI
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterised by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviours. The severity and symptoms can vary greatly, hence the term “spectrum”. ASD includes conditions such as autism, Asperger's syndrome and PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified).
Symptoms of ASD
- Social Challenges Difficulty in forming and maintaining social relationships, limited eye contact, and difficulty understanding social cues.
- Communication problems: Delayed language development, difficulty with conversations and unusual speech patterns.
- Repetitive Behaviour Repetitive movements (such as flapping or rocking), a strong need for routines, and intense interests in specific topics.
- Sensory Sensitivities Oversensitivity or undersensitivity to sensory stimuli such as sounds, light, textures, and smells.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback and PNEI in ASD
At Brain-Fit, we combine NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback and PNEI (Psycho-Neuro-Endocrino-Immunology) to effectively treat autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This integrated approach offers a unique solution for improving brain function and overall well-being.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback: NeurOptimal® is an advanced, non-invasive system that optimises brain function by providing real-time feedback. This helps the brain to self-regulate and reduces the symptoms of ASD without the use of specific protocols.
PNEI (Psycho-Neuro-Endocrino-Immunology): PNEI investigates the interactions between the psyche, nervous system, immune system, and hormones. This holistic approach treats ASD by addressing the underlying psychological, neurological, immunological, and hormonal factors.
